Discovery of Old Coin.

Recently farmer found in his garden
at Berndshausen, in the district Of Kun
zelsau, Wurtemburg, ono hundred and
forty-six gold florins, in excellent pre-
servation. They bear the dates of the
early part of the fifteenth century, and
were found arranged in the form of
rolls, not enclosed in purse or vessel
of any dcscrpt on. Some ruins of a
house that had evidently been destroyed
by fire were discovered three feet dis
tant from the place. so that it may nat
urally be supposed that this treasure was
buried pr'or to some war, the owner no
doubt hoping to recover the money after
the event was over, Many of the coins
bear the date of the Emperor Sigis-
mund; some an earlier. The towns of
Nurnburg, Frankfort, Nordlingen, Basil.
Coblenz and Bonn are mentioned as the
places whore the money was coined. =

The Statesmen Outbatted and Out.
fieldcd-Other Games Yesterday.

The rain that began to fall during the seventh
inning Of the Washington Detroit game yesterday,
and which eventually caused the game to be called
before the home nine had a chance to try their
side OF the proverbial ''lucky seventh" undoubt-
edly prevented the heavy-htting wolverines from
adding some large figures to their batting record.
As IL was, they secured hOnOrs at the rubber with
which ordinary ball-tossers would be am ply salts
fed. Dupee Shaw, alias the wizard" seemed to
have no effect whatever and was given an unmer-
ciful pounding, which, coupled with ragged field
ing and poor baSe-running, gave the league lead
erS another lift toward the pennant. The home
team went to the field first, with their gaudy red
andwhite sk1n-tight suits, and began to chase the
leather at once, for the first ball from Shaw was
sent spinning over second for SINGLE followed by
more and heavier hits from the big sluggers from
the West. In the second inning Hines made gal
liant run for high fly just back Of short-stop and
finally captured it, making one of the prettiest
catches seen here for long time. The score was:
Washington, >; Detroit, IL. BaSe-hitSL Washing
ton, q; Detroit, IA. Errors-WaShington, 5; De-
troit, 3.
Other games yesterday resulted as follows: Phil
adelphia, 4; Indianapolis, Is lnnings) Brooklyn,
10; Cleveland, 4. Athletic, 8; Louisville, 9. The
B0ston-Chicago game was called at the end OF the
fourth inning, with the score to 1. Rain pre-
vented the New York and Pittsburg teams from
starting.

Shot by a Policeman.
AN ESCAPING PRISONER BROUGHT DOWN By BALI
FROM REVOLVER.

b
FROM A REVOLVER
Shortly after 3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
Policeman Malloy, OF Lieut.. Gessrord's precinct,
shot Abraham Banks alias Abe Banks, colored
man, near the corner OF Sth and Boundary streets.
Banks was attempting to escape, having assaulted
the officer and broken away from him. Banks was
sent to the workhOuSe about q month ago, having
then been arrested by Policeman Breen. He had
few months before returned to the city from the
Albany penltentlary where he had served SEN
tence for larceny or houSebreaking. Yesterday
he escaped from the chain-gang, and the police
were notified to arrest him. Before his commit
ment he had been living with a cOlOred woman
named Sophie Braxton in Clicks alley, between
6tn, 1th, Il ana streets, and yesterday morning
he went TO the house and 1t Is charged assaulted
her. when she called for the police he struck her
Policeman Malloy. About O'Clock Banks re-
turned 10 Sophie BraXtonS and attempted to enter
the mousse but found IL locked, and he then amused
himself by throwing stones at old woman Sit
ting near the window. MallOy appeared upon the
scene and arrested him; but Banks resisted A
lar-e crowd gathered and followed the officer and
prisoner TO near the corner of Boundary and Sth
street. Here the officer turned and ordered the
crowd back; Banks tried to trip the officer but
failed. Banks then struck the officer with his fist
on the breast and face, and breaking away started
down Sth street. Malloy at once pursued him,
calling ON hin TO halt and then drawing his pistol
ne flred one shot III the air to inttnl1datc him.
BanhS, however, kept on, and when some 10 or 10
tlnle Banks ran some 20 yards farther and fell In
the street. He was picked up and taken to the
Station where DR.. Henderson examined him. The
shot mad entered his back directly over the right
hip ana passed out in front over the groin. The
wound he pronounced serious but not dangerous
one. Banks was subsequently sent to the Freed
mems Hospital. The case will be heard In the
Police Court when Banks Is able TO appear.
